Inflationary Effect of Oil-Price Shocks in an Imperfect Market: A Partial Transmission Input-output Analysis
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Wu,   Libo; Li,   Jing; Zhang,   ZhongXiang.
This paper aims to examine the impacts of oil-price shocks on China’s price levels. To that end, we develop a partial transmission input-output model that captures the uniqueness of the Chinese market. We hypothesize and simulate price control, market factors and technology substitution - the three main factors that restrict the functioning of a price pass-through mechanism during oil-price shocks. Using the models of both China and the U.S., we separate the impact of price control from those of other factors leading to China’s price stickiness under oil-price shocks. The results show a sharp contrast between China and the U.S., with price control in China significantly preventing oil-price shocks from spreading into its domestic inflation, especially in...

Sesgos en la medición de la inflación en contextos inflacionarios: el caso peruano
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Escobal D'Angelo,   Javier; Castillo,   Marco.
La posible sobrevaluación del Indice de Precios al Consumidor de Lima Metropolitana ha sido un problema que ha venido preocupando tanto a académicos como a tomadores de decisiones y a la opinión pública en general desde hace ya algún tiempo.  Muchos desconocen que la sobreestimación del Producto Bruto Interno per cápita y del retraso cambiario, o la subestimación de la presión tributaria, tiene su origen en el mismo problema de medición del IPC. Sin embargo, la existencia de dichos sesgos es reconocida cada vez más como asuntos que necesitan ser urgentemente abordados y solucionados.  Entender la naturaleza exacta de estos problemas es indispensable si se pretende corregirlos adecuadamente. Este documento parte de la teoría de los índices del costo de vida...

A Model of Inflation for Sri Lanka
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Cooray,   Arusha.
This paper uses two models: an open economy model and a closed economy model to estimate a price equation for Sri Lanka.  The results suggest greater support for the open economy model.  Consistent with previous studies for Sri Lanka, supply side factors appear to be important in influencing the general price level in Sri Lanka.

Quality Adjustment for Spatially-Delineated Public Goods: Theory and Application to Cost-of-Living Indices in Los Angeles
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Banzhaf,   H. Spencer.
This paper illustrates how public goods may be incorporated into a cost-of-living index. When public goods are weak complements to a market good, quality-adjusted prices for the market good capture all the welfare information required. They are also consistent with a Laspeyres index that maintains the bound on a true cost-of-living index. The paper recovers this information from a discrete-choice model, using a simulation routine to solve for the appropriate price adjustments. These concepts are applied to the case of housing, education, crime, and air quality in Los Angeles for 1989 to 1994. Over a period of time when they are improving, incorporating pubic goods into the index lowers the estimated change in the cost of living by 0.5 to 2.6 percentage...

Discussion: Revisiting Macroeconomic Linkages to Agriculture: The Impact of Macroeconomic Variables and the Oil Sector on Farm Prices and Income
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Penson,   John B., Jr.
Periodically, events occur in the domestic and global economies that remind agricultural economists that macroeconomics matter. This was evident in the early 1980s when the Federal Reserve responded to double-digit inflation by driving interest rates to post–World War II period highs. The Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s, rising oil prices this past decade, and current stress in domestic and overseas financial markets serve to remind us again that externalities can have an effect on the economic performance and financial strength of U.S. agriculture. These effects are transmitted through interest rates, inflation, unemployment, real gross domestic product, and exchange rates.

THE INFORMATIONAL ROLE OF COMMODITY PRICES IN FORMULATING MONETARY POLICY: A REEXAMINATION
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Awokuse,   Titus O.; Yang,   Jian.
This paper reexamines the issue of whether commodity prices provide useful information for formulating monetary policy through the application of recent development in time series methodology developed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995). We found that commodity prices signals the future direction of the economy.

Green Price Indices
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Banzhaf,   H. Spencer.
This paper suggests two theoretically consistent and empirically tractable ways that a cost-ofliving index can be expanded to include the environment and other public goods. In addition, it presents an empirical illustration of such an index for Los Angeles, California, incorporating air quality and other spatially varying public goods using a hedonic model. The results indicate that the required information can be recovered and that including public goods can make a noticeable difference in the index.

Friedman's Hypothesis and Cross-Regional Inflation Dispersion
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Shoesmith,   Gary L.
This study shows that higher inflation is associated with increased inflation dispersion across U.S. cities and regions. Regression analysis indicates that cross-regional inflation variability is positively related to both inflation and inflation expectations based on consumer price inflation for 18 U.S. cities. Similar results are obtained after excluding five of the 18 cities that may be disproportionately impacted by energy shocks. In addition, cointegration analysis shows greater cross-regional price dispersion over time during the higher inflation period of 1978-1987 than during 1988-1997. These findings suggest that high inflation is associated with greater uncertainty for businesses and policy makers.
